For the past few years, Collin has resided in a residential treatment facility for children with special needs. Kate has said in the past that Collin was in the facility for behavioral issues. In the court docs he filed, Jon revealed that Collin is finishing up his inpatient program at the facility this month.

At the time of Jon and Kate’s 2009 split, Kate was awarded full legal custody of all eight of the children, though the exes were both granted shared physical custody. Currently, 14-year-old Hannah resides with Jon full-time, though the couple’s 18-year-old twins Mady and Cara, as well as remaining sextuplets Alexis, Leah, Joel and Aaden continue to live with Kate full-time.

Collin will likely be joining Jon (and Hannah) soon, as he is expected to complete his program and and return home before Christmas.

Jon has remained active in Collin’s life. Last month, Jon posted several photos of Collin during a visit home, and back in May, Jon and Hannah visited Collin at his residential home to celebrate his birthday.

During one of Collin’s weekend visits last month, Jon told followers that his family (including his girlfriend, Colleen Conrad, and her two children) had found their Christmas tree and were ready to “let the holidays begin.”

Please lets stop painting John as a savior his current girlfriend if its the same one from Couples Therapy is just as controlling as Kate. John is one of those pansy man/boys that like to be dominated by strong women. I guarantee he’ll be asking for child support soon.

How heartbreaking for Collin. What kind of parent is a no show at a custody hearing? We all know what kind of parent is a no show at a custody hearing. And it isn’t like she didn’t know about it – she asked for a continuance. That was denied – even if she wasn’t given all the paperwork on that, her attorney certainly had that information and he/she could have shown up.

I’m no expert in child custody issues, but I can’t imagine that this would help her cause if Jon went for legal custody of any of the other 6. And if I was one of the other 7 kids, the fact that my mother couldn’t be bothered to show up for a hearing about my brother would give me a great deal of pause as to what my mother felt about me.

When the celebrity DJ/stripper is a better parent…well, I’ll let you finish that thought how you will.

So interesting, when they were little, Collin and Hannah were clearly Kate’s favorites, and Jon was closest to Cara and Joel. Now Collin and Hannah are with Jon and Cara and Joel are with Kate. And Hannah and Leah were inseparable, and now they don’t even live together.

Anyway, I hope Collin, Hannah, and Jon continue to do well together and I hope Collin continues to make progress.

Totally agree! She’s the One who put him there, yet doesn’t show up for his hearing!? What a Low life parent ! So happy he’s with Jon now. And remember how Hannah was the Most clingy to Kate, and now she’s the one who doesn’t want to live with her! Geez wonder why 😏
